A website experienced a temporary outage due to an unexpected surge in traffic, prompting its security service provider, Cloudflare, to block access to the site. The incident occurred when the website received 429 too many requests, exceeding its allocated limit.
The issue was resolved once the traffic subsided, allowing users to regain access to the website. The cause of the high traffic remains unclear but experts speculate it may be linked to a social media or online advertising campaign.
